Just a reminder that, like most holiday weekends, there will NOT be any coupon inserts in this Sunday’s newspaper.

This is a great time to go through and update however you organize your coupons/inserts and discard any expired coupons. Don’t forget, Coupons.com has also restocked for September, so head over there, as well as adding coupons onto your grocery store rewards cards at Cellfire, UPromise and Shortcuts.

While still in its formative stage, I’ve finally created a place where you can go to see deals that are ongoing, including birthday freebies, kids eat free locations, and more!

This is my husband’s Nana’s recipe that he HAD to learn because no-one else in the family makes it. The funny thing is, I make it better than he does now! This is actually a holiday favorite (especially at Thanksgiving), but since I just found it after our move, I thought I’d share it now.

Don’t let the word “salad” throw you – it’s really more of a dessert. If there’s one thing I’ve learned marrying into a southern family is that when I see the word “salad” at the end of a dish, it typically just means that there’s a lot of mayonnaise added into whatever is in the bowl! However, this dish is to die for and you have to try it before you make any judgments for yourself. Enjoy!

Wash the cranberries and spread them out to dry on a dishtowel (preferably overnight, but not necessary). Put the cranberries into a food processor and pulse until fully chopped, but not pureed. Transfer them to a medium size mixing bowl and add the sugar. Incorporate fully and set in the fridge overnight (again, not necessary, but optimal). Beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until it forms stiff peaks (stands on its own and becomes the consistency of whip cream); this should take about seven minutes. Gently fold the cream into the cranberry/sugar mixture. Incorporate the grape halves, nut pieces and marshmallow pieces into the cream/cranberry mixture. Chill to allow to set up and enjoy!

This is a delicious and fresh “salad” that can be served alongside the holiday dinner or as a dessert.

Cut a circle in top of bread and hollow out the top to create a large bread bowl. Take top of bread and pull into chunks and set aside.

Combine first four ingredients in medium size bowl and mix well. Add cheese to mixture.

Pour cheese mixture into hollowed out bread bowl. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes (until bubbly with brown edges). If desired, scatter chunks of bread around the bread bowl on the cookie sheet during the last five minutes of cooking. Serve immediately and wait for compliments to the chef 🙂
